Description
Section 6.3.1: This wording could be clearer:
"
...
A DFDL string literal is therefore able to describe any arbitrary sequence of bytes and characters.
Empty Strings: Empty string is not allowed as a DFDL string literal value unless explicitly stated otherwise in the description of a property. In this case the use of empty string provides some property specific behavior different from simply using the empty string as a value. When the empty string is to be used as a value, the entity %ES; must be used in the corresponding DFDL string literal."
